SMOU recognises the importance of international maritime standards as the maritime industry is global in nature. Likewise, SMOU appreciates the global role performed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), to regulate the global maritime industry through conventions and legislature. The processes of policy and regulatory formulation by IMO across various platforms, specifically in the areas of safety, operations, manning and welfare, ensures that all seafarers can sail across the harshest oceans in the safest possible environment.
